LOS ANGELES, CA — Thousands of demonstrators marched through downtown Los Angeles this weekend, joining a nationwide wave of protests sparked by the killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this week.

The Los Angeles march, organized by a coalition of local rights groups, began near Pershing Square and moved towards the Federal Building. The crowd carried banners and signs calling for the immediate abolition of ICE and protesting the policies of the 47th Presidential administration.

The atmosphere was tense but determined. Participants carried Palestinian flags and signs referencing anti-fascism, connecting the specific violence of the Good case to broader issues of imperialism and police violence.

Visuals from the ground:

The Crowd: A wide view of the marchers in downtown LA shows the scale of the turnout, with signs visible reading "USA Out of Venezuela" and "Trump Must Go."

Justice for Renee: A protester is captured holding a pink handwritten sign reading "He Shot 3x Into Her Head... RIP Renee," a direct reference to the details emerging from the Minneapolis shooting.

Political Resistance: Near Union Station, a demonstrator was seen carrying a flag with the numbers "86 47," a code referencing the removal or impeachment of the 47th President.

Community: The march drew attention from the entire city, with residents watching from apartment windows and even pets joining the crowd wearing protest signs.

The event remained peaceful as it moved through the financial district, though the message was one of uncompromising demand for accountability.
